The Frankfort roundabout. [volume] (Frankfort, Ky.) 1882-1908, 1887-08-27

The small boy is becoming a
nuisance in some portions Of South
Frankfort. He goes in gangs and
raids gardens and steals all the
fruit he can get his hands upon.
Some of them are so bold as to
refuse to leave the premises when
ordered off by the lady Of the
house, and even offer resistance
when force is used to drive them
away. The attention of the police
is called to this matter.

There has been an unusual
amount Of activity in revenue cir
Giles of late. Gaugers have been
transferred from Louisville to Chi
cago; from Cincinnati to Coving-
ton and Lexington; from Peoria to
Louisville, and so on through the
list. 1t looks as though some
body was smelling mouse in the
meal. room.

Almost daily accounts are re-
ceived of smash-ups and break.
downs of vehicles upon our streets.
The only wonder to us is that
there are not more OF such aCCi,
dents. Ladies and small boys
drive about and often try to out
run the locomotives on the rail
road. The very gentlest of horses
will run at times, and it is never
safe, in our judgment, for ladies to
drive about unaccompanied by
gentlemen. The man Of old has
we'll said horse is vain thing to
rely upon and it is as true to-day
as it was then.

AS an evidence of the great
benefit to the property owners OF
community who are denied rail
road facilities. it is only necessary
to say that the news had hardly
arrived at Stampingground that
the railroad proposition had been
submitted to the people Of Scott
county, when there was an i'm
mediate advance of from ten to
fifteen per cent on the values Of
property in that precinct. Those
people have too long been denied
speedy access to the outside world,
and they know at what cost. They
are enthusiastic friends of the P,
G. & F. r. r.
The Frankfort roundabout. [volume] (Frankfort, Ky.) 1882-1908, 1887-08-27
The p, G. & r. Railroad.

The magistrates of Scott county
met, according to adjournment, on
Saturday last. and, after the petit
ton Of the President Of the p, G.
& F. R. r. had been duly present
ed and considered, proceeded to
vote on the question Of submit
ting the proposed subscription Of
500. 900 to the people Of the
county. The vote stood nine
magistrates in favor of the propo-
sition and nine against it. Judge
G. V. Payne, the County Judge,
was then called upon to cast the
deciding vote, which he did in
favor Of the proposition. thus
giving a majority for submission.
All honor to Judge Payne. who
has thus risen above mere ques-
tions of expediency and policy,
and has had the nerve and judg
ment to look to the best interests
Of the whole people of his county,
and State.
The election will take place,
under the order Of court. on Satur-
day, September 24th. 1t now be-
hooves the people Of Scott to be-
stir themselves and bring out
full and fair vote Of the people,
and there need be no fears of the
result. Let not over confidence
as to the certainty of the result
prevent every man who values the
best interest of Scott county from
voting for the subscription, and
then seeing that his neighbor does
the same.
We have no doubt but that all
the usual balderdash and nonsense
about poor men not voting taxes
upon others will be rung in with all
its changes. 1t is time that the
chestnut bell should be rung" on
such stuff as that. Every one
knows, or ought to know, by this
time, that that argument is only
the resort of the demagogue and
time-server.
A new era OF progress is upon
us, and we rejoice to see the indi-
cations that our beloved old State
is arousing, everywhere within her
borders, to the realization Of the
fact that the possibilities of the
future are such as should call forth
every energy and exertion looking
to the development of her material
and mineral resources.
All hail to the Kentucky Of the
future

The following are the names Of
the Scott county magistrates and
the way they voted on the propo-
sition to subscribe 500, 900 to the
P, G. g. F. R. r., viz:
For submission-J. c. Lemon,
| J. w. Bradley, w. B. Galloway,
John c. Glass. H. F. Richardson,
Chas. Murphy, Pash. Wood, J. c.
Griffith. and c. J. Graves-o.
Against submission-W. G..
Finley, Ed. Ward, E. T. Burgess,
Douglass Moore, T. B. Hiles, J..
A. Hamon, w. H. McCabe,
Joshua Marshall and Peter Feeny
-.
County Judge Geo. V. Payne
gave the deciding vote in favor of
the proposition.
Much to the surprise Of the
people, the magistrates ofNewtown
magisterial district went against
the proposition as we'll as against
the overwhelming sentiment of
the people of that district.
We regret to learn that the firm
Of Duncan, Hughes & Hillman, of
South Pittsburg, Tenn. (of whom
our friend Mr.. F. c. Hughes, is a
member). had the misfortune to
lose their saw.mill by fire, on
Monday night, Aug. IS. Their
loss was about $40 without
any insurance. We are informed
by Mr.. w. H. B:inkworth, their
sawyer (who has been home on
visit to his family, that the build
ing has been already rebuilt and
that the mill will be ready to start
again in about thirty days; and
that it will be very much enlarged
and improved. We. are glad to
note the success of our boys when
they leave us, and likewise regret
their misfo rtuneS.

The proposition looking to the
calling Of a Convention to revise
the Constitution of the State has
been carried by a majority of 20,
4o3. There was a grand total in
the vote Of 27S, sos. Of which
Io2,557 votes were cast in favor
and 1895 against the Convention.
$3.50 voters did not vote on the
proposition, although counted
against it. The counties Of Bell,
Butler, Edmonson. Greenup,
Harlan, Henderson, Hopkins,
Leslie, Letcher, Magofin. Met
calfe. Owen. Owsley, Pendleton
and Pike, fifteen in all, made no
returns. The next Legislature
will have to submit the question to
another vote Of the people, when.
if again carried, the Legislature
following will have to order the
election Of delegates and fix the
time for the assembling of the Con-
vention. Verify it takes a long
time to reach this much to be de-
sired END.

The Frankfort Base Ball Club
went down to Bagdad Saturday
morning and played game with
the club from Sweet Home, Henry
county, defeating them by a score
of 6 to 3. When our boys got of
the train at Bagdad the people
there laughed at them, and said
the Sweet Home boys would eat
them up. An admirer Of the
pitcher Of Sweet Homes had made
a bet that he would make a home
run the first time he came to the
bat, but as Nelson was informed
that such a wager had been made.
he caused the stalwart Sweet
Homer to fan the wind every
time he came to the bat.
The Frankforts went on to
Pleasureville in the afternoon and
played a game with the club at
that place, also defeating them.
the score standing % to II. In
both games Messrs. Nelson and
Hudson. the battery for the
Frankforts, did splendid work,
seven men being struck out in the
morning game and eleven in the
afternoon.

known exchange: First comes the
blackberry, whicD YiDeDs IN March, and
lasts until June. The two varieties high
bush and low running variety. The latter
variety the fields at Orange Park are
covered with, IN their season. We will
say no cultivated Lawtons at the North
can excel them IN size or quality, and we
can buy them at &c to SC. per quart OF the
cOlored people. Next comes the whortle-
berry, both high and low bush varieties.
The woods are tull Of them. They ripen
in May and last some six weeks, being
Large, thin skinned and the most perfect
fruit of this variety found in the United
States. In June, July and August the
different varieties OF wild plums ripen
and are also most abundant all through
the woods. For sweet pickles, preserves
and Jelly they are much sought after.
Florida is the home OF the grape as at
tested by the great abundance Of these
vines in tull bearing all over our lands.
These, as we'll as the wild plums. are
used by all classes: some varieties last
ing Into October. Then comes the per-
simmons, which, when fully ripe, mature
so in this cline that they are large and
delicious, also very abundant, lasting
until December. Nature gives us all
the above in abundance. Then we can
have figs, peaches, and all other fruits IN
their Seasons"
